FINAL BILL REPORT

HB 2483

C 200 L 04

Synopsis as Enacted

Brief Description: Modifying the disposition of title fees.

Sponsors: By Representatives Murray and McIntire.

House Committee on Transportation

Senate Committee on Highways & Transportation

Background:

Senate Bill 6072, which passed during the 2003 session, transferred some vehicle title fees to accounts funding three activities: (1) retrofitting school buses with exhaust emission control devices; (2) locating a tug boat at the entrance of the Straight of Juan de Fuca whose primary mission is to arrest the drift of disabled vessels in order to prevent a spill; and (3) providing funding to the Nickel Account.

After the 2003 session it was found that the language in SB 6072 did not transfer the funds to the appropriate accounts, thus not funding the services that the bill intended to fund.

Summary:

Corrections are made to the disposition of title fee revenue to meet the intentions and the appropriations made in SB 6072.
